The saga continues between two of today’s biggest hip-hop artists: Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

The fiery exchange between both rappers has had the internet in a frenzy this week, with many wondering what started the beef. In case you haven’t been plugged in, we’ve got you covered.

It all started when Lamar unleashed his gripe with the “God’s Plan” rapper on Metro Boomin and Future’s track “Like That.”

In the fiery verse, Lamar directly takes shots at Drake and J. Cole in response to their song “First Person Shooter.”

Cole refers to himself, Drake and Lamar as “the Big Three” in the song. “Love when they argue the hardest MC/ Is it K. Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/ We the Big Three, like we started a league.”

Lamar wasn’t having any of that, responding to make it clear he doesn’t see either rapper as being on his level.

“Yeah get up with me, f— sneak dissing/ ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches,” he raps. “Motherf— the Big Three, n—, it’s just big me.”

Lamar then compared himself to Prince, saying he will have more longevity than Cole and Drake.

“Your best work is a light pack/ N—, Prince outlived Mike Jack/ N—, bum, ‘fore all your dogs get buried/ That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see ‘Pet Cemetery.’”
